I used IRC a fre years ago. It's "active" but mostly small groups of close friends.
Honestly, I really wish we had an open source version of discord, discord just works. Revolt sounds promising, but I couldn't get the email verification to send on either Yahoo, Gmail, or Proton email. So trying to convince my friends to switch if something that basic doesn't would be a hard sell.
I'm pro-nuclear power, but why not use those reactors and replace fossil fuel sites instead? We don't ai to consume that much power, which in turn requires morec graphite/uranium/thorium mining, which causes direct environmental damage
I had a Sansa Fuse about a decade + ago.
Is there an issue with getting a used smartphone with no service and a headphone jack?
